Question

Kira John and Ryan sent a total of 112 text messages during the weekend. Kira sent 8 fewer messages than Ryan. John sent 4 times as many messages as Ryan. How many messages did they each send?

Answer 1

Kirasent 16 and Ryan sent 96

Explanation:

I got this because Kira is x-8 and Ryan is 4x. 4x-x-8=112 is equal to 5x=120. So x=24.Kira has 16 when plugging in x and Ryan has 96 because 4 times 24 is 96.
